Regular LZ/zip type compression already does a good job on JSON, even fairly
short bits. Not just because of repeated key strings, but because there are a
number of very common byte sequences like
},{ ":" "," {{ }} "} "}, "},"
(those are literal quotes)
Shox96 is an interesting idea, but it seems like a real disadvantage that it
only compresses alphanumeric characters, fails on non-ASCII, and is biased
toward English.
